About Us

Our History

1985

CSLA is born

As a member of Cognia and ACSI, our operational guidelines provide measurable standards to ensure the highest quality, most beneficial environment for our student body.

2002

Added full high school program

Renamed C.S. Lewis Academy in 2002 after adding a full high school program, our rich history and commitment to excellence in every dimension of a student’s education has positioned us as one of the most recognized, longest-standing private institutions in the area.

2016

K-12 campus

After years of operating on multiple campuses, the school was consolidated on a single K-12 campus. The result has been a more vibrant, cohesive and collaborative campus.

Mission Statement

C.S. Lewis Academy is committed to providing an education that is challenging and responsive to individual needs; preparing students for life in a safe, nurturing environment that fosters character development and spiritual growth based on Biblical truth.

Vision Statement

Discovering a Student’s Full Potential From early childhood education through grade 12, C.S. Lewis Academy provides continuity and connection for each student as they progress through each grade. The easy migration from elementary to middle school, and from middle school to high school, affords our students the best possible environment to enrich their experience. Year after year, close bonds with classmates and teachers are forged and established. This foundation provides vital stability, as they are free to explore their full potential during their academic journey with us.
